A/N: Sorry I haven't updated for so long! I have had a mental block. I still kinda do. This chapter really sucks. But please R&R anyway! Anyway, in the last chapter, Parvati was kinda mean at first but she's nice now. lol! Also I know that I haven't really been writing about what time in the year it is. But we'll be getting an idea about that as well.
Chapter Fifteen
The next day Harry's hair was completely restored in its full messyness.
"Your hair is back!" I said that morning at breakfast.
"Yeah, and I didn't even have to go to the hospital wing." Harry said back.
"How come?"
"Dunno. It grew over night."
"Ooh, that happened to me once! I went to this student hair place and the person kept on screwing up so she cut it shorter and shorter and shorter and it looked really stupid and the next day was the first day of school so I really didn't wanna look stupid and I was really stressing about it and the next day my hair looked great! I was like so relieved! Cool, huh?"
"Yeah that's great. Could you pass the eggs please?"
It was almost Thanksgiving and I was ready for the break. That was what I was going to be giving thanks for this year. The homework was taking up most of my time, and trust me... I have much better things I could be doing. I still hadn't heard from Sara. It had been almost a month.
"Has anyone seen Hedwig?" Harry asked one night in the common room.
"What's a Hedwig?" I said, stupidly.
"She's my owl." Harry said back.
"Oh. Well I haven't seen her/him/it."
"I saw her about a month ago. She had a letter." Hermione said, looking over the top of her book.
"Who would use her, though?"
"Dunno." Ron said.
"And what does this 'Hedwig' look like?" I asked.
"Uuh...Well she's white and umm has amber eyes...and is big..." Harry said.
"That was very articulate of you Harry!" I said sarcastically. "But I know where she is!"
"Where did you send her?" Harry asked dully.
"Heh... Bulgaria." I said sheepishly.
"Bulgaria?" He repeated weakly.
"Yeah. Hey...haha...How about that....break! That's coming...up..."
"Don't try to change the subject! Why did you send my owl to Bulgaria?"
"I didn't know it was your owl! And my best friend goes to school in Bulgaria and I don't have an owl and I needed to send Sara a letter and she was there and I liked her and she looked young and able to take on a long trip so I just used her. Sorry." Harry nodded while rolling his eyes.
"Who have you got a letter to send to anyway?" Ron asked Harry.
"I don't. Just haven't seen her in a while."
"I'm sure she'll be back any day now!" Hermione said sensibly.
"Right."
"So does you're friend go to school with Hermione's boyfriend, Skylar?" Ron asked, glaring at Hermione.
"Oh for heavens sake Ron!"
"Hermione has a boyfriend in Bulgaria?" I asked grinning slyly.
"Yes—" Ron started.
"Hermione! What about Ron! You playa!"
"I do not have a boyfriend in Bulgaria!" Hermione cut in.
"Does 'Vicky' know that you're not his girlfriend?" Ron said his eyebrows raised.
"You are so childish."
"So he doesn't!" Ron said triumphantly.
"Ron, you're my boyfriend. Not Viktor." I giggled. Ron glared at me.
"Why would you like me more than Viktor Krum?" Ron asked grudgingly. .
"Oh yeah! I remember now! Hermione dated Viktor Krum!" Ron chose not to notice this comment and went on.
"He's an international Quidditch player and I'm...Just me."
"You're right." Hermione said. "I don't know why I would like you more than Viktor. But I do." Ron grinned sheepishly at her. She leaned in and kissed him softly. I grinned girlishly at Harry who pretended to throw up over the side of the couch.
"Shut up!" I said as I threw a pillow at his head.
"Hey!" Harry said seriously. "Nobody...throws a pillow at my head and gets away with it!"
"Oh really?" I said innocently.
"Yeah really." Harry picked up a particularly large squishy red pillow and started hitting me viscously with it.
"Aah!" I screamed, giggling loudly.
"Okay!" Yelled a third year. "Pillow fights are all well and good but I need to concentrate so could you take it outside?"
"Oh, sorry." I said trying to calm down. Harry smiled slyly at me.
"Don't you think this is over!" He said deviously. I laughed stupidly.
"Hey, you know what I don't like? Heh...Bats! Bats are ugly and gross and creepy and eat bugs! And whatever eats bugs can't be good therefore they're bad! And bad things are you know...bad! Have you ever seen a bat? Not I! And I'm proud of it! You know how people often say bats are like rats with wings? Well my friend had a pet rat and I held it so I guess that's kinda like holding a bat without wings! Don't you think it would work the same way? Like bats are like rats with wings so it would be like rats are like bats without wings! I think it would work! Well I'm really tired so I think I'll go to bed. Goodnight Harry! Oh, and Ron and Hermione too!" When I reached the stairs I looked back for enough time to see Ron smirking at Harry and Harry reply to the smirk with a clueless,
"What?"
